NFL 2025 Season
- Thread starter Moomin
- Start date
Excited for you, brother - If I was playing an NFL video game, trading a generational talent to a conference rival that routinely beats up on you, for a couple of firsts would totally break my immersion.
Green Bay hadn't traded a first round draft pick since Brett Favre and they gave up 2 here. Still worth it without a doubt in my opinion, but I'm amazed they did it.

Parsons traded to the Packers is 
What a coup for them. With a pass rusher of his quality you'd be expecting them to compete for the NFC title this season. They've just gotta pray now that the guy stays healthy and that his back issues aren't more of a problem than first thought.
Don't really understand why Jerry Jones didn't just pay the fella..

Hopefully the Parsons trade to the packers has as much impact for them as the Mack trade did for the Bears ie. Negligible

Don't get me wrong - the jury is still very much out on the Packers' offense but, at the very least, Parsons will give their defense a big boost and will lift them having him there in general.
Never watched American Football before, and don't want to start with a Superbowl either. Got a dodgy stick now so can watch whatever, are all the games on super late for UK viewers if I was going to try get into it?

The prime time games will be on at 1:25am our time. They are Thursday Night Football which tends to be a crap fixture anyway. Same time on Sunday night and Monday night.
The best time to watch will be 6pm every Sunday (RedZone) when multiple games kick off and you can see every meaningful action from each game when it happens. Very much like the Champions League goal show. Then there’s another slate of games at 9:25pm as well.
Cheers mate, might give the RedZone thing a go. Sport has never really appealed to me but need something to switch off the football from before NBA starts.

Some good advice from @Obes there mate. RedZone at 6pm every Sunday is a great place to start with the NFL, which nicely follows on from the late afternoon Super Sunday game. Its how my mate in work first got into it himself.
What usually follows RedZone is then the 'late block' with one or two additional games that then KO from 9pm that Sky Sports show in full, oftentimes on the Main Event channel even.
Thursday & Monday Night Football games - the 'prime time' fixtures as they call them - KO after 1am our time and i dont usually bother with those myself unless its the Eagles or a big conference matchup like KC-Buffalo.
As for who you end up 'supporting' its entirely up to you. I have my own story for following the Eagles, but sometimes people will often side with a franchise that they simply end up 'vibing' with over the course of a season.
Cheers mate, when it comes to "supporting" any American sport it's usually down to either where I've been on holiday or who I might have actually seen play before (that's why I'm a Pels fan in the NBA), so if I was picking an NFL team it would be one from New Orleans, Miami or New York,

In terms of New York - the teams there are the Giants and the Jets. They both have big followings, but I'd suggest the Giants is probably bigger.
Miami & New Orleans your only choices there really are the Dolphins and the Saints.
The Giants and the Dolphins are both historically 'big' franchises though the Saints have seen a little bit of their own success in the past as well. All four of them are up against it a bit to make the playoffs this season but, of course, that shouldn't necessarily sway which way you go anyway.
The Eagles, who are an NFC conference team, have been my team for about 20 years - but in terms of the AFC teams I have soft spots for both the Houston Texans and Tennassee Titans through family, so I like to see them do well also.

as the yanks say, they all suck!
2 have new head coaches this season (NY jets & NO saints) and a high chance the other 2 will be looking new head coaches after this season.
